A method and system for way-finding using a kiosk wherein the method comprises the steps of processing maps of a facility in a manner which abstracts the layout of the facility and connects it to the occupants of the facility in order to provide users with directions to various points (92), irrespective of changes to the orientation and location of users accessing path information and changes in the facility itself. The system further has the capability to configure various aspects such as the languages in use, terms to be utilized, the various interfaces to communicate with the user and the kiosks or devices, which dispense path information (91, 92). Path finding is performed in the present invention by accessing the processed and annotated maps, stored alongside a floor plan layer in a proprietary PQM object and displaying the path to the user in an animated fashion. |
